Attitude Quote by Peter Hollingworth

“I think the truth is, we are all racist, really, when it comes down to it. I think all of us have to check ourselves from time to time, and say, 'Look, that sort of attitude isn't good enough.' It takes discipline to keep our prejudices out.” quote by Peter Hollingworth
